This book is a collection of 220 eyewitness accounts from 1940-1945, the “five evil years” of German occupation of Denmark. The accounts are by Danes who experienced the occupation first hand: resistance fighters, politicians, policemen, Nazis, Jews, volunteers on the German Eastern Front – men and women, young and old, 'high and low', known and unknown figures. "Eyewitness to the Occupation" is a mosaic of stories that can be read either in parts or chronologically as one collective narrative about this period.
